As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI
boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code
required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really
no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with
this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be
left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the
boot loader then become,
o Loading the kernel image from boot media
File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the
scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system
that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc.
o Providing a user interface
Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example
to allow the user to select from a list of kernels.
Bump the boot protocol number because we added the 'handover_offset'
field to indicate the location of the handover protocol entry point.

When more than 1 source id is in use for the same GSI, we have the
following race related to handling irq_states race:
CPU 0 clears bit 0. CPU 0 read irq_state as 0. CPU 1 sets level to 1.
CPU 1 calls kvm_ioapic_set_irq(1). CPU 0 calls kvm_ioapic_set_irq(0).
Now ioapic thinks the level is 0 but irq_state is not 0.
Fix by performing all irq_states bitmap handling under pic/ioapic lock.
This also removes the need for atomics with irq_states handling.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first,
and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.
This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert
Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically
self-contained, not touching other kernel components.
By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,
like what they did under native Linux.

Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines.
If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the
functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by
other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap.
If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops
registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions
A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal.
Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine
as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it
but the regs are ignored by the other ops function.
x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL
for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply
both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL.
It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that
require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when
registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs
then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the
ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may
either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS.
If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs
for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

data structures directly.
For KVM use, we don't need any guarantees about when the switch to the
new op will take place, so it could in theory use this API after SMP init,
but it currently doesn't, and restricting callers to early init makes it
clear that it's safe as it won't race with actual APIC driver use.

For the x2apic cluster mode, vector for an interrupt is
currently reserved on all the cpu's that are part of the x2apic
cluster. But the interrupts will be routed only to the cluster
(derived from the first cpu in the mask) members specified in
the mask. So there is no need to reserve the vector in the
unused cluster members.
Modify __assign_irq_vector() to reserve the vectors based on the
user specified irq destination mask. If the new mask is a proper
subset of the currently used mask, cleanup the vector allocation
on the unused cpu members.
Also, allow the apic driver to tune the vector domain based on
the affinity mask (which in most cases is the user-specified
mask).

Currently __assign_irq_vector() goes through each cpu in the
specified mask until it finds a free vector in all the cpu's
that are part of the same interrupt domain. We visit all the
interrupt domain sibling cpus to reserve the free vector. So,
when we fail to find a free vector in an interrupt domain, it is
safe to continue our search with a cpu belonging to a new
interrupt domain. No need to go through each cpu, if the domain
containing that cpu is already visited.
Use the irq_cfg's old_domain to track the visited domains and
optimize the cpu traversal while finding a free vector in the
given cpumask.
NOTE: We can also optimize the search by using for_each_cpu() and
skip the current cpu, if it is not the first cpu in the mask
returned by the vector_allocation_domain(). But re-using the
cfg->old_domain to track the visited domains will be slightly
faster.

On UP i386, when APIC is disabled
# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_IOAPIC is not set

still gets compiled in. In particular, this causes
build failures with kvm, but it generally bloats the kernel
unnecessarily.
Fix by defining both __apicdrivers and __apicdrivers_end

that as the result any loop scanning __apicdrivers gets optimized out by
the compiler.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and
instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions.
For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB
and 1GB.
Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for
genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And
in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number.
This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB
optimizing.

It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but
unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and
/proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI.
Therefore, rename this to "dtherm".
This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86
maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject.

On SGI's UV2 the BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) driver can hang
under a heavy load. To cure this:
- Disable the UV2 extended status mode (see UV2_EXT_SHFT), as
this mode changes BAU behavior in more ways then just delivering
an extra bit of status. Revert status to just two meaningful bits,
like UV1.
- Use no IPI-style resets on UV2. Just give up the request for
whatever the reason it failed and let it be accomplished with
the legacy IPI method.
- Use no alternate sending descriptor (the former UV2 workaround
bcp->using_desc and handle_uv2_busy() stuff). Just disable the
use of the BAU for a period of time in favor of the legacy IPI
method when the h/w bug leaves a descriptor busy.
-- new tunable: giveup_limit determines the threshold at which a hub is
so plugged that it should do all requests with the legacy IPI method for a
period of time
-- generalize disable_for_congestion() (renamed disable_for_period()) for
use whenever a hub should avoid using the BAU for a period of time
Also:
- Fix find_another_by_swack(), which is part of the UV2 bug workaround
- Correct and clarify the statistics (new stats s_overipilimit, s_giveuplimit,
s_enters, s_ipifordisabled, s_plugged, s_congested)

This patch enables the BAU to be turned on or off dynamically.
echo "on" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics
echo "off" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics
The system may be booted with or without the nobau option.
Whether the system currently has the BAU off can be seen in
the /proc file -- normally with the baustats script.
Each cpu will have a 1 in the bauoff field if the BAU was turned
off, so baustats will give a count of cpus that have it off.

The iommu=group_mf is really no longer needed with the addition of ACS
support in IOMMU drivers creating groups. Most multifunction devices
will now be grouped already. If a device has gone to the trouble of
exposing ACS, trust that it works. We can use the device specific ACS
function for fixing devices we trust individually. This largely
reverts bcb71abe.

Implementation of PV EOI using shared memory.
This reduces the number of exits an interrupt
causes as much as by half.
The idea is simple: there's a bit, per APIC, in guest memory,
that tells the guest that it does not need EOI.
We set it before injecting an interrupt and clear
before injecting a nested one. Guest tests it using
a test and clear operation - this is necessary
so that host can detect interrupt nesting -
and if set, it can skip the EOI MSR.
There's a new MSR to set the address of said register
in guest memory. Otherwise not much changed:
- Guest EOI is not required
- Register is tested & ISR is automatically cleared on exit
For testing results see description of previous patch
'kvm_para: guest side for eoi avoidance'.

__test_and_clear_bit is actually atomic with respect
to the local CPU. Add a note saying that KVM on x86
relies on this behaviour so people don't accidentaly break it.
Also warn not to rely on this in portable code.
